The Black Snow Circus

Deal With A Empty Eyed Doll

I stared into Carlene's eyes, which were filled with shock, and a bit of fear. I smiled.
"My my, to think I'd be killing two members of the top five in just a few days, and of the same job. Now, why don't you tell me who you're on the phone with there, dear Carlene?" My tone had the creepy sweet bit to it, the one I had every time I was about to kill someone, or torture them, or both. I didn't like Carlene's pretty little face...so both! But first I had to get information.
"It's none of your business you little brat" she spat. I could barely keep my laughter in, and it turned into a giggle.
"Brat? Me? You read my file, right? You know what I do to little traitors like you, correct?" I titled my head to the side, grinning from ear to ear. Her face went even paler than before, it was like staring a sheet of paper. I saw her trying to put the phone down, and I threw a knife so it barely grazed her, and her grip tightened. "Ah ah ah, no. I want whoever's on the phone to know what I do to little bugs like you. " I turn to the phone, and start speaking to it. "Hello, yeah whoever you are, learn one thing. I have killed multiple people, and guess what? Ones like her are around 10% of the ones I've killed, because most people weren't idiots trying to destroy us. So, letting you know, do NOT mess with our mafia, or you'll be seeing Carlene in heaven a lot sooner, or well, hell" And then, I threw a knife at the phone, destroying it. Carlene's knees gave out on her, and she dropped the floor. Oh, the fear on her eyes, the feeling it gave me was so...lovely. "So, dear Carlene, I have a little proposition for you... you see, this group thats trying to come after us is pissing me off, though you wouldn't know that right? Anyways, how about working as a...double agent, I guess? There's someone in that group that brought back unpleasant memories for me." Carlene flinched, opening her mouth as though to say no, but then she closed it, and appeared to think about it. She slowly began to speak again
"What would be in it...for me?" Her voice quivered a bit. " Oh, simple. You'd get to live" I smiled. Carlene scoffed and said
"Yeah no thanks. Not what I want." I began to giggle, oh, what an idiot she was... I slowly walked over to her, and I could see the beads of sweat appear on her forehead, and I knocked her over. She gasped and, having no time to react, fell. I pulled out a knife, and very slowly cut her cheek. She opened her mouth to scream, but I covered her mouth with my hand. She tried to push me off, but I quickly forced her to drink a paralyzing poison, and her arms went down. She could still feel the pain of course. I began to cut her forehead, light enough so it wouldn't kill her, but enough to make it hurt like 10 knives, not one. The pain on her face, oh it was so lovely as tears formed in her eyes. Those eyes were so...pretty..normal, unlike mine. I smiled, and moved the knife into her eye, stabbing it. She couldn't even scream, and that was what was so delightful. I moved to her chin, and put the tip of the blade there, then spinning it multiple times, creating a pain unlike any other, like being drilled into. I moved to her other eye, but went right beside it and did the same thing as the chin. What a lovely scar that would be. I slowly moved away. " You'll be able to move in 32 hours. Come find me after you can, I'll tell everyone to leave this tent alone, and once you can move, tell me your real answer to my proposal. Have fun going hungry for the next 32 hours!" I laugh and exit the tent, leaving dear little Carlene to sit there in pain and suffering, unable to move. Oh, I just loved destroying others ego...

The show went on as planned that night, my knives hitting each target easily. After the show was done, I skipped along, and found myself at Eric's tent. Maybe I could talk to him about new torture methods, or he'd let me see some of his flame throwing practice! I always loved that! I peeked in, and saw him. I snuck up, and grabbed his shoulders, and he jumped, letting out a small squeak and I burst into laughter. "Peekaboo Eric!" I giggled. He let out a shaky sigh and said
"Circe, you have got to stop scaring the literal hell out of me- anyways, here to hang out or something?"
I smiled and said "Yeah, I was bored, whatcha wanna do? Maybe go prank Tara or annoy Jack?" Eric laughed, but then went a little bit more serious. "Hey Circe, I want to ask something. You are the only one who knows about my psychic powers, and that they aren't fake like a lot of people. So, would you let me...go into your mind and see what's there? I've done it with anyone who knew my secret..before they died."
I looked at him, but said with a smile "Sorry, but no. I prefer to keep what's in my messed up mind, in my mind." Eric nodded 'Thats fine. Anyways, how should we prank Tara? Spray paint her tent, put poisonous snakes in her pillowcase?" He said while laughing. "Nah, too basic. How about...ooo I know, slip that super spicy poison, if you can even call it that, into her water in the morning, you know, the one that makes your mouth feel like it's burning, no matter what you drink! It wears off after a few days so it'd be hilarious."
Erica eyes widened and he nodded multiple times "Yes, but where should we hide- she'll know it was us. "
I close my eyes and think. "Oooh I know, the alleyways in the town, the abandoned ones! There's probably a home or something in a wall we can hide in!" I grin, and Eric's smile rivals mine. "Yes! I'll make sure I put up a few camera, unnoticed since that's kind of what I do. Then, we'll hide and watch it from the computer as she tries to find us!"
I grin, but say " Yay! But stay out of Carlenes tent, she's apparently...feeling under the weather." I see the look of happiness flicker from the happiness to a look telling me he knows, but back to happiness "Awe, poor Carlene. She'll probably be fine within the next 32 hours though!" And with that, we schemed the night away on who else we would prank....
I wondered, how did Carlene feel to make a deal with a empty-eyed doll?
